Kenna and Cox

Kenna & Cox are Chris Kenna and Melissa Cox, two Australian musicians who have been playing acoustic folk-blues together since they first met on a Paris bandstand in 2008. 

As a rock musician in Australia in the 80s, Kenna chalked up supports for oz rock luminaries including Midnight Oil and Men at Work. After moving to Paris in the 90s, he developed a solo acoustic blues style that has seen him play some of the city’s biggest venues, supporting (among others) Jeff Beck, Peter Green and Tommy Emmanuel.

Meanwhile, Cox had first studied classical violin in Sydney, but soon was drawn to jazz, and then to folk and rock, and world music. She has performed and recorded with Elliott Murphy and Inga Liljeström, and moved to Paris to study film composition at L’Ecole Normale de Musique. 

Kenna & Cox's third album, Shipwrecked, was released on Christmas Day 2020.
